The Superliga side are home to Zimbabwe international forward Quincy Antipas and yesterday one of their scouts Michael Sorensen watched the Premier Soccer League match between Harare City and Chicken Inn. Sorensen arrived in the country on Thursday.

Harare City forward Fransisco Zekumbawire was one of the players under Sorensen’s watch, but the player was introduced only two minutes to fulltime. Zekumbawire is not new to Scandinavian football after undergoing trials in Sweden in 2012.

CAPS United leftback Ronald Pfumbidzai is believed to be another target of Hobro.

“I have attended Harare City and CAPS United training sessions as well as watching this game,” said Sorensen.

“This trip is mostly about coming to see the best of Zimbabwean football talent. I would rather not mention the players who have impressed me so far. If I mention names the players would become expensive when we try to buy them. For sure I will always be coming to Zimbabwe to scout for more players.”
